whoa whoa whoa door monkey what happened with sam why is zach filming now well the thing is well we run two hardscape crews a lawn maintenance crew and then construction another construction crew and there's no way for one person to be at four places at one time and for me to be able to capture more of these jobs i need to recruit more of my guys that do it and my job supervisors like alex and blaine their heads are in the game so i get guys like zach and sam that are the laborers on the job that may be able to go ahead and move a camera around and it doesn't take away from what they're trying to do on the rest of the job site well we finally found it but it was never connected to that stuff it just came out a little stub out of the side of the house to right there that was it so all that other digging so the reason we're doing this job is if you look right where the dump truck is at right now that is where the city has all of the water from the street the entire hill comes down dumps over the curb and goes into the backyard but if you look really closely you can also see the inlet to the storm water system is directly opening onto the upper portion of their property which means all of that water as it comes down has to flow back through their yard and it floods out their entire backyard before it goes into the pond just directly below this property so all of this work is to correct that issue [Music] uh let's see [Music]
